I'm sorry, but no amount of publicity and four season boosterism is going to convince me to try and navigate the snowy streets of Montreal on a bicycle. It makes about as much sense as trying to drive a car through these streets.
Besides, walking through the snow as you watch motorists try to barrel their way out of their parking spots is one of the more pleasurable experiences of a Montreal winter.
Many cyclists decide to leave their bikes down on the sidewalks even as the snow piles up.
I wonder how many survive the passing of the plows and blowers when the city tries to defy nature, and scoops up the tonnes upon tonnes of snow?
